Ayako Rokkaku
Ayako Rokkaku: Untitled (Beach towel)

2022

About the Item

This cotton beach towel features Rokkaku's painting UNTITLED (2021), which depicts a floating dreamscape of colourful clouds. At a closer look, wide-eyed girls and other fantastical manga-style creatures appear in the cloud formations. Rokkaku creates her paintings in an intuitive, performative act in which she applies the acrylic paint with her bare hands, transferring the movement of her body onto the canvas. The artist's visual language oscillates between abstraction and figuration and is informed by the aesthetics of kawaii culture, as rich and limitless as a child's vivid imagination.

    Since the 1990s, Heinsohn’s work has addressed climate change, impending cataclysm, and cultural dysfunction in numerous bodies of work including his mixed media wall reliefs, his "Time Frames" series of photo-based abstractions, and his turbulent, thickly painted, cratered abstractions. However, as mentioned in his recent statement: “Given the current dysfunctional mayhem of our planet, I believe we need visual art that provides a place for the mind to transcend our calamity, to thoughtfully explore the multitude of unknowns connected to our daily lives, and to thereby refresh our optimism and our sense of urgency in the reimagining of our existence.” These new works channel the meditative properties of abstraction pursued by Kandinsky and Malevich, combined with intuitive approaches of accessing higher consciousness which guided Hilma af Klint as well as, much later, artists of Abstract Surrealism such as Gordon Onslow Ford, Roberto Matta, Wolfgang Paalen...
